Nestlé Germany Facebook page points to October release

Apparently the relationship between Google and Nestlé is pretty tight, with the German arm of the Swiss based multinational food and beverage company advising a Facebook fan of their page that the release for Android 4.4 is expected in October.

The October release date is not the least bit unexpected, our source indicates that the announcement is set for October 14th and the whole October announcement marries up with the last two announcements of a new Nexus Phone which has in turn coincided with the launch of a new version of the OS.

While it could just boil down to Nestlé announcing that their Android package themed Kit Kat bars will be available in October – as is the case in Australia – the close relationship between the company for the launch of Kit Kat could actually mean there’s something to this.

Dan is a die-hard Android fan. Some might even call him a lunatic. He's been an Android user since Android was a thing, and if there's a phone that's run Android, chances are he owns it (his Nexus collection is second-to-none) or has used it.

Dan's dedication to Ausdroid is without question, and he has represented us at some of the biggest international events in our industry including Google I/O, Mobile World Congress and IFA.
